The Roland Juno 106 (as well as the Juno-6 and Juno-60) is the most iconic and widely used synth in '80s inspired music and early house and electro.  These are samples taken directly from a Juno 106 that I found laying on the sidewalk in Tokyo.  Like all Juno-106's, this was manufactured with a faulty voice chip (probably why it was being thrown out) but I paid $70 and had a new one put in.  This sample pack captures the warm, gritty bubbly deep bass that the Juno is able to produce.  I have put minimal effects on to boost the audio quality as well.

I know it seems like trying to ride the coattails of some group’s fame by using their name to describe some sound you made, but… Disclosure’s sound really was the inspiration for this synth, I can’t lie.

I was shooting for that groovy, bubbling sort of Arp / Acid / 303 bass sound that you hear in Disclosure’s “Defeated No More”

Back in 2009 I got this pack of 200 vintage drum machine sounds from a friend and since then I haven’t downloaded a single pack of beat loops or samples.

Anyway, there are 7,701 wav files in here (337mb total) and I am guessing you will not use all of them.
